John Veargason got in early foul trouble. "Last year, we could hit the out- side shot and that gave us more room to work inside and move around " said Yoest. "Tonight, we couldn\ throw a pea in the ocean. They clogged up the middle and I couldn't move around at all.

USD's Paul Leonard opened the game with a three-pointer and team- mat Mark Manor added two more to get the Toreros off to a 9-2 start. Loyola Marymount narrowed the lead to 17-13 six minutes into the game, but could get no closer. USD had an 11-point lead when Manor, who finished with 13 points, hit his third three-pointer with 8:36 remaining ih the half. Six minutes later the lead was 16 points. USD led 41-22 at the half. The Toreros didn't let up in the second half, maintaining a 49-30 lead through the first three minutes. Egan

Present and accounted for was Loyola Marymount junior forward Mike Yoest, whose 24 points here last season led the Lions to victory. Yoest didn't have a whole lot of help last night, however. Yoest was the reason USD's coaches instructed the Toreros to stay on the ground.Don't go for his head fakes, double pumps, or crazy moves. Wait him out.

There was no help on the boards, especially when forward Vic Lazzaretti and center

cleared the bench following a 13-0 run that made it 62-30 with 12:14 to go, allowing the reserves to bring home the Toreros' 20th win in their past 21 games at the Sports Center. "It just seemed like the whole team wanted some revenge," said Manor, who did not score in last sea- son's meeting at USD. •·we really wanted this one. After losing a game like that at the buzzer, you just want to get after it a little more. I think we were more aggressive going into this game. And we have had some games earlier this season where we had a big lead in the first half, so we

Loyola Marymount entered the game with a quick-paced offense av- eraging nearly 90 points a game.
